My Blessed Wife

For sixty years the world’s been blessed

By your acts of God’s pure love.

You put the needs of others first

A gift you brought from heaven above.

 

Each day you strive for a better way

Ridding your life from daily strife

You place your trust in Jesus Christ

For He’ll grant you eternal life.

 

Thirty six short years ago

You chose to give yourself to me

‘Twill always be my greatest day

We began our journey to be free!

 

For many years you suffered so

This only made you who you are.

With Jesus Christ you’ve overcome

And now you are a shining star.

 

This shining star that you’ve become

Will someday turn into a sun.

The trust you’ve placed into God’s hand

Will lead you to His only Son

 

You are the Dawn of my every day

Filling my soul with rays of light.

I wish for you to understand

With you I’ll reach celestial heights!

 

Your legacy will last all time

For you did choose eternity.

Your focus is always sure and fixed

Upon the Savior and on me.

 

I’m grateful that you’ve been with me

For all these years of ups and downs

We’ve eons left of time to use

To count our blessings not our frowns.

 

So on this blessed birthday day

I honor you my blessed wife

May God send His choicest gifts

For you, my love, are my whole life!
